Comment (by kcrisman):

 Here's an interesting thing I wasn't expecting.
 {{{
 More than 9 Jmols have been launched on the worksheet since it was last
 openned. Unable to get a static image from Jmol#0 You might want to try
 Chrome as this problem does not exist with Chrome on MacOS.
 }}}
 And indeed, a few have a little message to that effect, and no static
 image.  Looks like something added on the previous ticket, though I'm
 using Safari, not FF, on Mac.

 So one could sort of jam up a worksheet.  I was able to get all the plots
 to vanish by playing a little game where I chased them around, and then
 got the advanced menu to try to generate a static image, which would
 (intentionally, I guess) fail.  What is the story behind this?  Can Jmol
 not detect that there are no longer any live images, and hence try again
 to generate a static one, or would this be hard to work around?

 I do note that quitting and reopening the page gives normal behavior.  But
 just restarting inside the worksheet doesn't.

 I tried to recreate strogdon's signed applet issue.  I couldn't get
 exactly that, but I did note that once the signed applet has been
 requested (not downloaded, as in his), there doesn't seem to be any way to
 go back to the unsigned applet - even reevaluating the cell doesn't do it.

 ----

 I also tried to see if I could get away from the problems with old Jmols,
 but try as I might it wouldn't work.  Re-evaluating will sometimes
 generate a png for the next time one opens the page, but I can't get it to
 consistently "just work".  Now sometimes even new cells in this old
 worksheet give the same error message.  It's puzzling and frustrating.
